Chester and North Wales
On the Saturday morning we said Goodbye to our friends in Lancaster, and headed south down the motorway as far as Warrington, where we turned right along the M56 to Chester.
The weather was changeable, with showers. At Chester we found a car park and walked to the city centre.
We had lunch at McDonald's this time, and the photo above is taken from the window there, looking across to the Cathedral.
We got lost on the way back, and eventually found the car, by which time we had a ticket for overstaying our parking space.
We explained our problem and they let us off, but that was later.
Back on the road we drove the short remaining distance to Abergele, and then back to the suburb of St Asaph where Sue and Ian Mitchell, Karen's sister and brother-in-law lived. We met them and their son Richard.
A little later we were joined by Vic and Dot Jarvis, Karen's parents, and Sue and Ian's other two children, Stephen and Liz. So we had a pleasant chat with these members of the Jarvis family.
The next morning, Sunday, we went for a cruise around the area, while Sue and Ian got ready for a large family get-together in the afternoon.
We went to see a local attraction, the Marble Church, just along the road (see photo on left), and then drove the few kilometres to the village of St George, where Terry and Karen had been married all those years ago.
We spent a little while strolling around the church, looking at the Welsh houses, and drinking in the atmosphere of this beautiful locality, and taking photos, before moving on.
Here is a shot of one of the village streets and the traditional Welsh houses that line it opposite the church:
